Mr. Shepard died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. P. Blum, near Newburg, Or., December 10, and the body was brought to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Holtgreive, Columbia Slough, for interment. He was born in the State of New York June 24, 1807, and had lived nearly 100 years. He was among the pioneers of 1852, having crossed the plains in that year. He first settled in Skamania County, Washington, on land which afterwards became the townsite of Stevenson. This he afterwards disposed of and settled in Yamhill County, near Newburg. He lived for some time at the home of his son-in-law, Henry Holtgreive, of Columbia Slough, and became well known in that district. Six children, three sons and three daughters, survive him, who are as follows: Richard and James Shepard, Clark County, Wash.; William Shepard, Multnomah County; Mrs. Henry Holtgreive, Columbia Slough, Multnomah County; Mrs. N. P. Blum (Nancy Priscilla Shepard-Vanderpool), Newburg, Or.; Mrs. Allen Springer, Walla Walla, Wash. (Oregonian Newspaper, Portland, Oregon, 15 December 1901)
